Database Users

[SOLUTION] To all rooted users with stock ROMs getting errors upon Froyo update!

If you are like me, rooted but with stock rom, and tried to update to Froyo with the original google update you probably got this error:
"
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko" . "e594389935893859358938")
E:error in /sdcard/update.zip
(status 7)
Installation aborted.
"
That's because the official google update doesnt work for rooted users.
Then you probably found a developer modded update especially for rooted users, but then when trying to apply it, you get E: signature verification error
That's because the default google recovery tool, doesnt work with non-google signed updates
So you need not just modded update but modded recovery tool as well.
Here is what you do
Install amon-ra recovery tool:

Then you flash Paul's update:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=686734
And bam you've got Froyo, finally!
p.s.
no wipe is necessary

Any idea if rooted users running stock rom and stock recovery can get 2.2 via OTA updates? It seems like there are so many problems with this Froyo update that I'd rather wait for OTA if I can.

To a clean install of Froyo coming from a Rooted phone:
Do a nandroid backup.
Just change files from a Froyo's
And you got it.

They should be able to, yes, with stock ROM and stock recovery. Simply having an unlocked bootloader should not prevent the OTA update. However, it does not appear that every OTA update will work with every stock ROM, which is why stock AT&T users are SOL for OTA until Google sends out one specifically for them.

I get FroYo FRF50 installed but that's where it stops... same issue as always when I go higher with either RFR 50 or 83.
Please help!! >.<

can't install roms on droid x

Hey, I'm helping my friend install a new rom on his Droid X because the GB update messed his phone up. The Recovery version is 2.xxxx. I have Team Liquid's rom which won't install and it says
"E: failed to verify whole-file signature"
"E: signature verification failed"
"Installation aborted."
I thought maybe the download was bad so I downloaded OMGB and the same thing happens.
I can install roms without a problem on my Thunderbolt but I know nothing about this phone. It took me a bit just to figure out how to get into Recovery. No longer can I get into Recovery with Rom Manager or Quick Boot. If I tried to use those apps it just ends up rebooting the phone.
Any ideas why this is happening? Should I install the latest version of Recovery (CWM)? I downgraded the Recovery because I thought the new version was preventing Rom Manager and Quick Boot from booting into Recovery mode. Thanks in advance!!
Edit: I downloaded the Droid 2 Bootstrap app and now I managed to get into Recovery but installation failed again. It says
"Installing update..."
"assert failed: run_program("/tmp/check_kernel")"
"==0"
"E: Error in /sdcard/update.zip"
"(Status 7)"
"Installation aborted."
Any ideas?

I'm a lil confused as what you mean when you say the GB update messed his phone up. If it was a OTA update that messed the phone up, then i would simply suggest getting rid of root and going back to Verizon because it could be an issue with that phone in itself.
Now if the GB update was caused by you guys trying to do certain things than follow directions of above poster StayFrosty777 (Cool name btw dude lol).
Also make sure that you download a custom rom that is on the build. I'm unsure of whether he actually has GB or if still on Froyo. If he is still on Froyo you will need to flash a Froyo rom, flashing a rom such as Liquid 3.0 which is based on GB, will not work on Froyo.

I'm currently running 4.1.1 stock rom rooted and custom kernel.
Also, I think you mean 'trying to update to 4.1.2 ota'.

Flash the stock kernel. You can do it a number of ways. You can find a cwm zip file with it, use the toolkit to do it, or get the IMG yourself and flash it via fast boot. I had this error earlier.

Install a custom recovery and use it to run the update. If you already have a custom recovery, then that's why you can't run the ota via google possibly.

But I don't have a custom kernel. Just rooted and unlocked.

Any guides on this? Pretty new to android.

Anyone have any thoughts on what I should do?

Did you touch any of your system apps?
Seems more likely your update didn't download fully and it failed and md5 checksum. Just try again next time.

I don't think I touched any of the system apps. I did download Adblock and six axis tool. Anything else to look for?

I've downloaded the update probably 4 different times now and same thing each time.

Anything else I can try?

Any other options besides resetting? has no one else who only rooted and unlocked run into this problem???
I didn't change any system apps, and for rooting purposes the only apps I downloaded where Titanium Backup, Sixaxis and Stickmount. Should I remove those?
and OT Rootkeeper. Do I remove root first?

I was getting exactly the same as you Foxman2k, about the unverified whole-file signature when trying the OTA way. I've just followed the advice of the above linked thread and it worked fine. I had to install Quick Boot (Reboot) to get in to Recovery, then update from SD Card, then ensure signature verification is disabled, then select the downloaded .zip file. I did have RootKeeper active, but I don't really understand what that does so not sure if it made any difference.
HTH

I finally managed to get mine to go through, am rooted but running stock and was getting the error with build.prop.
Then it hit me, I am in tablet mode with my screen at 160, so I set it back to 213 and boom it went through.

[Q] Nexus 4 won't upgrade to 4.2.2 in any way

[Q] OTA failed and displayed dead Android saying Error! Tried to sideload the zip file using Toolkit 1.6.8 and it didn't go through. Tried to load it using TWRP and this is what I get:
Code:
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop". "5a778d005448ec19
E:Error in /sdcard/de8b8...zip
(Status 7)
Error flashing zip '/sdcard/de8b8...zip
I'm running rooted stock ROM, never tried anything else so I don't know how I could have messed up something.
Thanks for any ideas!

Flash a stock rom and install the OTA through adb sideload with adb and not by a toolkit, worked for me. After that reroot. Also read this thread well http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848.

Did you try a different kernel in the past? ie Franco's kernel?

No, never. I just wiped the phone and installed stock 4.2.2 using the Toolkit and now it won't boot.
EDIT: I guess that's because the Toolkit doesn't support 4.2.2. Oh well just flashed it using ADB. Hope I can get all my app data back...

Nexus 7 grouper, manual update fails

I have a Nexus 7 (2012, grouper) which so far I have kept on 4.1.2 (JZO54K) using FOTAkill, but now I want to update to 4.2.2. I also have the latest CWM recovery (6.0.4.3).
I plan on applying successively:
094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip
then
659e6288b87d.signed-nakasi-JOP40D-from-JOP40C.659e6288.zip
then
6ece895ecb23.signed-nakasi-JDQ39-from-JOP40D.6ece895e.zip
Using ADB I tried to apply the first update, but it fails. I also tried applying it from /sdcard, but the same thing happens. The error message happens after "verifying current system..." and it consists of:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Browser/ProviderProxy.odex", "21a896ab...
E: Error in /data/media/094f6629314a.signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip
(status 7)
I tried downloading the zip update again, but it still fails. I downloaded it from http://android.clients.google.com/p...signed-nakasi-JOP40C-from-JZO54K.094f6629.zip

Does the fact that by bootloader is locked have anything to do with this error?

...and the answer is no. Even with bootloader unlocked, the update still fails with the same error.

FWIW I haven"t solved this. Can anyone help me, please?

I don't want android 4.3, 4.4 or 5 on it, I want 4.2.2. I cannot find any factory images for 4.2.2.
(edit) I was looking in the wrong place, I did find a nakasi image for 4.2.2. I will try that.
